Asphalt crumb: a cheap and effective secondary building material for repair of roads, construction, landscape and decoration

In my today's article we will talk about secondary building materials, i.e. Materials, which are obtained by processing. In particular, today we are talking about a building material such as asphalt crumb. I will talk about how and how to produce asphalt crumb, what are the main advantages and advantages of using it, where this material is used, and what it consists of and what physical properties it has.

What is asphalt and how is it produced?

In fact, such building material as asphalt crumb is a derivative of other building materials (construction crushed stone, bitumen, sand, old asphalt and others). Crumb is a secondary product obtained by recycling, widely used in new capital or road construction, as well as in landscape and design works, road maintenance and so on. As a final product, crumb from asphalt is produced by processing asphalt (the road surface is crushed). So, for example, in the process of repairing a road, old asphalt is removed first, it is taken out and processed, crushed, eventually a mixture of asphalt crumbs is produced at the output.

Composition of asphalt crumbs

Asphalt chips include primarily bitumen and recycled building chips, grain fractions of which do not exceed 40-45 millimeters. Also, as I said above, the composition of this asphalt mixture includes building materials such as sand and recycled old asphalt.

How is the asphalt crumb?

Asphalt crumb can be used to implement a variety of tasks. But, of course, the most popular use of asphalt crumb in modern road construction and when carrying out repairs to the roadway, or laying new roads.

  • - road repair
  • - construction of new roads and highways
  • - landscaping of country plots and homesteads
  • - sprinkling of territories
  • - laying new paths, bicycle paths and pedestrian zones
  • - sprinkling of parking areas, garage cooperatives
  • - sprinkling of tennis courts, football and basketball fields, and other sports grounds

Effective and inexpensive application of asphalt crumb in a wide range of areas

It is very effective with the help of asphalt crumbs to fill up forest and garden paths, roads and roads, moreover, asphalt crumb also allows to strengthen the roadway from the side of the road, which reduces the "driving" of the road. Very often this building material is used by summer residents, and the owners of houses. So, for example, asphalt crumbs are also successfully used for laying paths on sites and roads in horticultural farms and villages. In cottage settlements and in urban parks, asphalt crumb is used for the construction of pedestrian paths and pedestrian zones, as well as for organizing bicycle paths.

Advantages of asphalt crumbs compared to gravel, brick or concrete battles and sand

Crumb from asphalt and gravel is favorably distinguished from other building materials that make up its composition. For example, it has a number of advantages compared to rubble or sand for certain construction and repair road works.

  • - very high density of asphalt crumbs
  • - high resistance to moisture and other weather conditions
  • - relatively low price compared to rubble and sand
  • - it is not subject to erosion
  • - fairly durable, not very susceptible to destruction
